New ACQ PT Pine Deck

[seymore]

Here is a section of the 950 sqft PT deck I stained a few days ago.The deck was cleaned with F-18/bleach/soap and oxalic.

Here are some pics of the smaller deck. I didn't get any after pics i was running out of light.

Great work and really fantastic pics for portfolio. Especially the one from behind the bench looking toward the stairs! If you could magically make the garden hose disappear from the background.

Dayum Shane! Great shot. Does BGA cure to a matte finish similar to other paraffinic stains or does it keep the gloss I see in alot of your after shots? Is that shot after backpadding?

Shane, that is a good example of a deck where only a non -drying oil should be used. All other drying type and filming type finishes would be impossible to maintain. This due to being to close to the ground and the surrounding plant life which cause high moisture levels in the wood.

Thanks Neil

Yes the BGA will dry to a matte finish once it dries.Yes the pic was after i padded the wood was a little cool and was not soaking in so fast.

Here are few more pics after a few days of the deck drying some more.

Here is an older swing i was able to talk them into cleaning and staining it.

Last one i think....

Is that last pic completely dry or still a bit wet?
Just curious why it looks much richer than the swing? How many coats does it take for that deck?

The pic was taken today 3 days since it was stained so it was dry but not cured completly.

Well the swing was real old and older wood will look different than newer wood like the deck.The swing also has more brown that gold in the mix because the wood was older. All jobs are a 2 coat process if not 3 if the wood is real dry.
